CES Preview: Total HD – Dual Format Disc from Warner Bros.

I am not sure how many ways we can try to work around the high definition DVD format wars, but there is going to be one more. Warner Bros. will be showing their Total HD disc at CES that can be played in both HD DVD and Blu Ray players. A nice companion to the dual format player that LG will be showing.

Some are bemoaning the confusion this will cause with HD DVD only discs, Blu Ray only discs and now combination discs all being available. What amuses me most is to think of the likely scenario of having discs that can be used in either type of player, and having most players support both formats. Makes the whole dueling format somewhat ridiculous at that point. More ridiculous, I should say, if that is even possible.
